Single-Stage Hybrid Fixation of a Grade III Open, Unstable Trimalleolar Ankle Fracture with Syndesmotic Disruption and Posterior Talar Subluxation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Trimalleolar ankle fractures, which involve syndesmotic damage and talar subluxation, are serious injuries that are complicated by open wounds. This article describes a novel single-stage hybrid fixation strategy designed to address these issues. Case Report: A 65-year-old female was involved in a car accident and suffered a Grade IIIA open trimalleolar fracture-dislocation. Radiographs confirmed the syndesmotic disruption and posterior talar subluxation. She underwent emergency surgery that included open reduction and internal fixation of the medial and lateral malleoli, as well as the use of an ankle-spanning external fixator. Her surgical recovery went smoothly, with fast union and functional mobility restored. Conclusion: This case shows that single-stage hybrid fixation can be a stable and successful approach for treating severe open ankle fractures with various anatomical disturbances.
